Deck Notes
This is a nasty Rakdos entry, but it does the other half of what that color combo wants. On the one hand, you have universal damage, loss of life, and big damage. Here, though, you get deals, bargains, and things that are only beneficial to the Rakdos player, even if they look like group hug. Gix is the star of this deck for sure, with Aclazotz and Sheoldred close behind. Once this deck gets some momentum, it’s all downhill for the opponent.
MTG is ever-changing, with new busted and broken cards rising to the top. Check back in next week for the upcoming top deck.
